CAX80 Router Unable to Save DNS Changes
I am unable to save DNS settings changes. I am trying to redirect DNS to OpenDNS and when I click save the settings go away with no error messages. I have an open ticket with Netgear, but has anyone had this issue and been able to fix it? So far we have performed a factory reset and have reinstalled the firmware. I also have contacted Cox to see if they are blocking the changes and they said no. I am wondering if it has something to do with Armor security blocking the changes but I have no way to disable Armor in order to test. This is the second CAX80 I have had as they have already sent me one replacement - same problem on both routers. Feedback appreciated.

IF you factory reset the CAX, setup from scratch and be sure to not enable Armor. Then set your custom DNS. Factory resetting should disable Armor by default.
